I never read a self-help book before and always considered them kind of a placebo to the self-pitying. I had overcome everything previously to this by myself. I didn't need anyone to tell me what I already knew.
Then one day while I was at a bookstore, I saw Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." I looked at it and thought, "Why not?" It looked interesting and it wasn't your typical self-help book. Even though I really didn't have the money I bought it. I am glad I did. It opened up my life to so much more.
With all the self-help books, the how to make money books and the how to improve your life books, "Think and Grow Rich" may not be the very first one, but it still is the original as it seemed to open the floodgates to this genre of books. Although this book was written over 70 years ago, everything in it still holds true today, because it doesn't depend on trends. It is all about changing ones attitude and thoughts about life. If your attitude and thoughts are in line with success, your life will always follow.
Mr. Hill studied the successful people in his time for over 20 years. What made them successful? Although success is really defined by each individual, here it is defined by those that were wealthy. He analyzed their lives, their thoughts, their attitudes, their practices and found that they were all similar. He broke it down to 13 steps. He contended that if one follows these 13 steps, their life will be enriched personally, materially, financially and spiritually. Based on my experience, I have to agree.
As mentioned before, there are thousands of similar books out there. A lot of these are excellent and some are poor. But read this book first. It seems that almost every book from this genre cites "Think and Grow Rich". This book is also the truth. It is a true classic.
Reading this book opened up me to so much more. I have read many more `self-help' books and have gained an immense knowledge of the success formula. I am on track to become wealthy and have started to see the world open up to me in ways I have never been exposed to before. If it can work for me, it can work for you.
